Tennessee consumers who were sent but did not cash restitution checks last year from the LA Investors settlement now can claim funds through the state's unclaimed property program, according to the Tennessee Attorney General’s Office. The office began distributing restitution in December 2024 to consumers who responded to deceptive mailers from a company called LA Investors doing business as “Local Records Office.” The company offered consumers a copy of the deed to their home for $89 even though consumers can get copies from their county Register of Deeds for cents per page. The state sued the company in 2017. Checks for a partial refund were sent to nearly 4,000 consumers. Any checks not cashed expired in May. The funds now have been sent to the Tennessee Department of the Treasury’s Unclaimed Property Office. Read more in a press release.
